After years of secrecy, Akiko creator Mark Crilley unveils his very first comic book story,
The Beast that Ate Morioka, a special 40-page tale of two Japanese high school students,
a gang of nefarious villains, and one giant-sized worm named Snorky. Written in 1990,
this lavishly illustrated saga features all the humor and non-stop action that readers have
come to know and love in Crilley's acclaimed Akiko series, while supplying a great many
things that Akiko fans have never seen before: an all-Japanese cast, a healthy dose of
monster movie mayhem, and probably the only plot in comic book history to hinge on a
novel new use for wasabi! "I've always thought this story represented some of my best
work," says Crilley. "I'm delighted that Sirius and I can now share it with the world and
give it the wider audience it deserves."
